About Todd Funke
I am a High-Impact Engineering Leader with extensive experience building, modernizing, and scaling high-velocity development organizations. I specialize in driving the successful evolution of monolithic applications into scalable, cost-efficient, cloud-native architectures—primarily on Azure, GCP, and AWS. My technical expertise centers on foundational system design, implementing robust CI/CD pipelines (Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker), and leveraging event-driven microservices to accelerate business value and improve operational stability. My core value is my ability to manage complexity at scale, both technically and organizationally. I have a proven track record of building and retaining high-performing, distributed engineering teams. I excel at establishing clear technical roadmaps, optimizing organizational efficiency through Agile standardization, and mentoring future leaders to ensure sustained team growth and high output. I am actively seeking Engineering Manager and Director roles where I can apply a strategic, results-driven approach to complex integration and cloud migration challenges. I am passionate about leading technical teams to translate architectural excellence into measurable business impact, such as reducing operational overhead and enabling faster time-to-market for critical product lines.
